A Glorious Day
7th February 2015
It cleared on the Torridon hills today with wonderful views. The snow accumulation is spectacular on East through to Southerly aspects. However, with the freezing level around the tops, it was still hard going low down below 650m. High pressure will continue to dominate for a while so settled conditions are expected and the snowpack is consolidating. The major ice falls seem to be hanging in there!
Extensive snow cover Beinn Eighe. I’d kill for a pair of skis!
Liathach. Spectacular! Walkers summiting were visible from the road.
550m, Coire an Laoigh, Beinn Eighe. Picking our line through soft deep snow.
Obvious graupel layers (from last weekend storms) buried in the snowpack.
Cold moist clouds moving around Maol Chean-dearg on freshening NW winds.
